What is StatsD?

StatsD is a front-end proxy for the Graphite/Carbon metrics server, originally written by Etsy's Erik Kastner. StatsD is a network daemon that runs on the Node.js platform and listens for statistics, like counters and timers, sent over UDP and sends aggregates to one or more pluggable backend services (e.g., Graphite).

StatsD is a tool in the Monitoring Tools category of a tech stack.

StatsD is an open source tool with 14K Github Stars and 1.82K Github Forks. Here’s a link to StatsD's open source repository on Github
